Does MPPC leave behind any oils?

I have some MPPC arriving Friday and plan to use it Saturday so I just want to make sure of one thing. Does MPPC use fillers or leave behind any oils? I plan on applying Z5 or Z2 immediately after and I just want to make sure I don't need to re-wash or do an IPA wipedown. Thanks and sorry for such a simple question but I can't find a definitive answer from the searches I've done.
 
It's doesnt have fillers - but does use chemical cleaners - same as AIO on the abrasive level chart .

Wont remove swirls - use with a blue pad
 
I am going to agree and disagree. :)



IMO, MPPC leaves a squeeky, oil free, clean paint surface. I have found it to remove swirls and it does have more cut than AIO, which I find to be functionally non-abrasive (to steal accumulators term). MPPC definitely uses a deminshing abrasive.
 
Very cool... thanks for info! Is it ok to use MPPC with a green DAS pad?? (out of new blue pads)



I will definitely use MPPC in my Zaino prep since it doesn't leave any oils... I've got both ZPC and MPPC (massive amounts thanks to the ebay auction)... I plan on using the ZPC when I have to do significant polishing (i.e. after using SFX-2) and using MPPC other times... from what I read MPPC is a really good chemical cleaner with mild polishing abilities (I'm guessing better chemical cleaning ability than Z-PC, but less swirl removal than Z-PC)... I'm really looking forward to using MPPC!
 
Use MPPC with lots of ventilation, and don't light a cigarette near it (if you smoke). Maybe even use rubber gloves.



I'm being a little facetious, but be prepared. It's a really STRONG chemical cleaner. IMO it's great, my favorite. But it's STRONG, chemically. Don't get me wrong, it still falls into the category of "paint cleaner" than "polish". It will remove swirls. And tree sap, and bird etchings, and road tar. It is definitely much stronger than AIO. The DAS green pad is fine for MPPC, maybe a better choice than the blue even.

lol... that seems to be a popular sentiment. Hopefully it's ok to use MPPC out in the sun. It sounds like MPPC would be a bit overpowering in a small garage like mine and thus I'd prefer to use in out in the open air of the driveway. My shipment arrives tomorrow and I imagine the label will tell me if I can I use it in the sun, but if someone can speak to that I'd appreciate it.



Course I'm not sure I have any brain cells left to be fried by using MPPC in a confined space... at this very moment I'm taking a break from scrubbing kitchen tile that's been soaking in bleach all day... talk about slow progress!! man, there's absoluting nothing I hate more than cleaning grout! :wall
 
I've used MPPC for years and I have not noticed any objectionable vapor or issues using in in an open garage. It is a very effective, mainly chemical, cleaner but it does contain fine diminishing abrasives. It will remove light swirls. I use it with a Meg's polishing pad. It leaves an oil-free, clean finish. I really like this stuff as a paint cleaner. It is excellent at removing oxidation too.

If you mean MPPC, it stands for Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner, a Meguiar's product. I believe it has been discontinued but may still be available in the market.

Yeah, I was being a little facetious. But I tell ya, I was using it over the winter in a closed garage, and my wife came down from the kitchen complaining about the fumes. It's got some volatility to it. In an open garage, no prob.



sillystanger, I wouldn't use it in direct sunlight. You can use it in a small garage if you keep a fan running, or even just the door open. It's not like you need a Hazmat suit. Either of those choices is better than direct sunlight.
